This is a page for the first episode of the first edition of The Amazing Race Maia.

Welcome to the first ever episode of The Amazing Race Maia! This first edition will kick off in Uutregha on the “Damas”, the biggest square in Kaohportia. From here, 13 teams will start their race around the world. Ten of them will be eliminated along the way while only three will return to Kaohportia, hoping to cross the finish line first to win the grand prize of one million Ka’ohi Guulda in their own currency. Right now, teams are being escorted by limousine to the Damas. Let’s meet the teams!

First up are actresses Lucy and Holly from the Nori Islands! After some seasons of Pretty Little Liars and a participation in the Maia Song Contest for Lucy, the duo is looking for a new challenge! Second, the team from Kaohportia itself! 26-year-olds Jenny and Emily have been friends since virtually forever and believe nothing will stop them from dominating the Race. The Klapaucian team does not consist of two normal citizens; Klapaucius sent it’s King and Queen to compete in the Race! Will their status help them? Rraegvoerrgh has always been called an eccentric country and this time they have again suprised the entirety of Maia by sending two people with an age difference of 50 years! Yak-wrestling master Ungto and his pupil Gurrko. They hope to surprise the international audience! Time for some more Maia Song Contest veterans! Dunwaye will be represented by Gary Barlow of Take That and Nate Ruess who infamously sang AhHa last month.

We’re almost halfway through as we introduce Tara and Jodie Peaches Bubbles Margaret Dolores, a team of rivals from Temekylopia. The two have officially hated each other since 2012 and think there may be a small, small chance the race might bring them closer together. The seventh team is from Zycantia; represented by member of parliament Vera Gomes and her daughter and sex toy designer Abi-Maria. Will the two please Shaniqua Diva enough with their result? The eight duo is a duo of boxers from Arkaystia, where the race originated. Vasyl and Bodhan hope to make their country proud! Meanwhile, Julien and Jenni from Lussantia have arrived. They hope to finally get Lussantia into the top 5 somewhere!

A country relatively new to reality shows, Loafousia is sending two actresses, Tameka and Lin, to represent them. Despite their age, they think they have everything to slay the race! Another limo is arriving, and lots of Song Contest fans start cheering as Maia celebrities Sirusho and Zhanar Dugalova exit! They will represent their home country of Kashykia. Do they know that they are not pre-qualified for the final three on this show? The women are accompanied by basketball players Ben & Matt from Flowek, who believe they have both the brains and the brawn to take the win home!

Now that all thirteen duos have arrived on the Damas, it is time to start the race! The teams will find their first clue in a sealed envelope laying across the square.

Get ready, On your marks, travel safe… TEAMS, GO!

Route Info: ‘’Travel through the metro network of Uutregha to find your bags and four pieces of a picture. Clues will be found at each metro station where you pick up one of these things!’’

Teams quickly race through the hectic metros to find their stuff. Jenny and Emily do have an advantage as they are used to the hecticness, but many others struggle! As soon as they have collected all four parts of the picture, it will show Uutregha’s central station. The text on the back says: ''Go to the building on this picture and search it for one of thirteen train tickets to Arceo, Oxenryd. There will be tickets to four trains, departing at intervals of 30 minutes''.

Teams took these trains: 1 - departing at 14.22: Emily & Jenny, Tara & Jodie, Bella & Mortimer 2 - departing at 14.52: Nate & Gary, Lucy & Holly, Sirusho & Zhanar 3 - departing at 15.22: Shelli & Monte, Tameka & Lin, Ben & Matt, Vasyl & Bodhan 4 - departing at 15.52: Ungto & Gurrko, Julien & Jenni, Vera & Abi-Maria

Upon arrival in Oxenryd, Teams would find their next clue on the station.

Route Info: Travel by foot to the Hilton Hotel in Arceo and find the receptionist dressed in red and yellow.

Here Teams would encounter a roadblock.

Roadblock: Who is ready for a big party?

Teams would be let to a hotelsuite filled to the brim with balloons. They would have to find one of eighteen white-dotted blue balloons before popping it and finding an anagram puzzle which they would have to solve before receiving their next clue.

Bella & Mortimer passed the rest of their first group of 3 teams and took the lead while Gurrko’s quick precision made him and Ungto jump up the rankings board.

Teams completed the roadblock in the following order: 1 Bella & Mortimer (Mortimer) 2 Nate & Gary (Gary) 3 Tara & Jodie (Jodie) 4 Shelli & Monte (Shelli) 5 Lucy & Holly (Holly) 6 Ungto & Gurrko (Gurrko) 7 Jenny & Emily (Emily) 8 Vasyl & Bodhan (Bodhan) 9 Sirusho & Zhanar (Zhanar) 10 Ben & Matt (Ben) 11 Julien & Jenni (Julien) 12 Tameka & Lin (Tameka) 13 Vera & Abi-Maria (Vera)

Route Info: Travel to the town of Ragezer, just outside of Marlon. Find the marked farm to get your next clue.

Detour: Pick between ‘’Counting Sheep’’ and ‘’We Remember U’’ Counting Sheep: Pick up the farm life! Find one of the marked farms and take the shepherd dog with you to herd all sheep. Afterwards, you have to count them all. Once you correctly count the amount of sheep, you will receive your next clue. We Remember U: Would you rather be around people than sheep? Then this is a detour for you. Find one of the designated restaurants in Marlon. Here you will have to memorise the names and faces of 75 people before leading all of them to their seats - without any memory help. Once all people have been seated correctly, you will receive your next clue.

Teams completed the detour in the following order: 1 Bella & Mortimer (Counting Sheep) 2 Shelli & Monte (We Remember U) 3 Tara & Jodie (We Remember U) 4 Ungto & Gurrko (We Remember U) 5 Vasyl & Bodhan (Counting Sheep) 6 Nate & Gary (Counting Sheep) 7 Lucy & Holly (We Remember U) 8 Tameka & Lin (We Remember U) 9 Sirusho & Zhanar (We Remember U) 10 Ben & Matt (Counting Sheep) 11 Vera & Abi-Maria (Counting Sheep) 12 Julien & Jenni (We Remember U) 13 Jenny & Emily (Counting Sheep)

At the Counting Sheep detour, Jenny and Emily struggled in collecting the sheep and were the last team to get all their sheep together. Meanwhile, Sirusho and Zhanar completed the detour fast but got lost on their way to the pitstop.

Eventually, after many footraces, teams reached the pitstop in the following order: 1 Shelli & Monte (Winners - 2 express passes) 1 Bella & Mortimer (2nd place after footrace) 3 Tara & Jodie (third place) 4 Nate & Gary (fourth place) 4 Ungto & Gurrko (fifth place after footrace) 6 Lucy & Holly (sixth place) 7 Vasyl & Bodhan (seventh place) 8 Tameka & Lin (eight place) 9 Vera & Abi-Maria (ninth place) 10 Ben & Matt (tenth place) 11 Julien & Jenni (eleventh place) 12 Sirusho & Zhanar (twelfth place) 12 Jenny & Emily (thirteenth and last place after a footrace)

''Jenny and Emily, you are the last team to arrive. Sadly, you have been eliminated from the Race. Goodbye.''
